MW2 & Warzone 2 Get Buy Station Fixes and Ranked Play Restrictions in New Update

Infinity Ward has rolled out a brand new update for both Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, implementing a number of fixes and changes to the gameplay.

Modern Warfare 2 and Warfare 2 Season 3 has been off to a mixed start. While players have been making the most out of the new content and battle pass in both games, a number of major bugs and issues have been causing trouble for players in-game.

Perhaps most notably was a bug affecting Massive Resurgence mode, which saw players spawning in the gas. Naturally, this ended in disaster with matches ending in less than a minute. This issue forced Infinity Ward to temporarily remove the mode from playlists. This mode was reenabled a day later, but persistent bugs elsewhere in the game have prompted a round of fixes to be deployed. Here's everything that's been added in the recent update.
